Depending on the level of openness of information moving forward, there may a convergence or divergence of consultancy firms and the need for consultants. If the level of information sharing opens up between consultanices, universities, companies, etc., we may see a convergence of consultancy firms between the so called "copy-cat firms" and the minority, but powerful, "Rocket Scientist Firms" (ie, McKinsey, BCG) and also a lessening of demand for consultants in general. However, if information between consultancies, universities and companies because more proprietary and closed, the gap between the "Rocket Scientists" and "Copy Cats" firms may diverge and the need for elite consultants grow.
Depending on the level of openness of information moving forward, there may a convergence or divergence in the level of expertise of consultancy firms and the need for consultants.

However, if information between consultancies, universities and companies because more proprietary and closed, the gap between the "Rocket Scientists" and "Copy Cats" firms may diverge and the need for elite consultants grow. There are major technological and social challenges to converting to a world where the majority of information becomes open-source, but there has been a growing trend towards open-source and collaboration.
